A sweet Christmas Romance...I know right???? Me --- sweet??? There is NO steamy love..... NO dead bodies.... NO vodka .... But there is a super cute 7 year-old, lots and lots of animals, and good food (recipes included) Blurb: Five years ago, Joleigh Nelson turned her back on the only man she’d ever love to save her father and unborn son’s lives.

She waited for the yelling, for Spencer’s angry words. “You weren’t sure of what?” Spencer whispered and moved away from her. “That I’d want to be a part of my child’s life?” She took a deep breath and lowered her hands. Tell him the truth, Spencer had always been a reasonable man. Rage twisted his face into a repulsive mask of hatred and she knew nothing she’d say would matter. “Come in and have some coffee. We can talk everything over.” She muttered as tears brimmed her eyes. She couldn’t breathe. For some reason her lungs refused to allow air in. “A little late for that offer, don’t you think? That would have been appropriate five years ago, but instead you chose to run.” Spencer crossed his arms. “There really isn’t anything to discuss. I’ll see you in court.” “Don’t, Spencer. You’ll confuse him.” Joleigh moved toward the only man she had ever loved or wanted. “You’re too far away to be a weekend dad.” “I have no intentions of being a weekend father.” He reached out and opened the door. “Good-bye, Joleigh. Don’t try to run this time, I’ll hunt you to the ends of the earth if need be. I will be a father to my son.” He turned to face her. Hatred filled his face. “And don’t worry, I’ll be as generous with visitation as you were with me for the first five years.” To find out how they work it out…pick it up https://www.books2read.com/u/mVBJEM Nick’s plan: dodge his grandmother’s matchmaking attempts by claiming Eve is his date for Christmas.
